▼ The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 1 in 3 women worldwide has experienced violence against women. Our study examines the effects of climate conditions on women’s attitudes towards wife beating. The demographic health surveys (DHS) dataset includes over 550,000 women in 38 countries, asked a series of wife beating justification questions in the domestic violence module. Using a linear probability model, we find prior year growing degree days (GDD), prior and current year rainfall variability have statistically significant effects. Most interestingly, we find that a one standard deviation (SD) rise in prior year annual rainfall decreases the likelihood of justifying wife beating this year by 2.81 percentage points. We posit changes in aggregate economic activity on the country level from climate variability influences women’s attitudes towards IPV.

▼ In this paper I look to analyze whether bank loans have the ability to promote productivity for firms and also whether banks are more effective relative to other sources of lending such as the government. Using a panel dataset of 26,000 firms over the time period 1997-2014 I carry out multiple two-time period lagged OLS regressions with proxy variables for firm productivity as well as some control variables to observe the differences for bank against non-bank loans. The results yielded illustrate that non-bank loans did not have a positive relationship and that perhaps there is some form of zombie lending occurring. On the other hand bank loans were shown to have positive impacts in the second lag. This could mean a delayed positive impact from investing as it may take time for the benefits to be received.

▼ This paper examines whether free trade creates permanent losses for a less industrious nation by observing trade between the United States and Mexico under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The initial idea behind free trade was to eliminate dead weight losses caused by trade barriers and to improve
international relations; however, literature from the latter part of the 20th century dictates that free trade is sub-optimal at best. Contemporary theory suggests that the negative effects of inefficient market structures are enlarged when trade policies are liberalized.
Empirically, this paper uses several models based on Cobb-Douglas production functions and Specific Factors models to explain how returns to scale and trapped factors contribute to permanent losses in potential growth for Mexico in certain manufacturing industries. Overall, this paper confirms that trapped factors contribute to permanent competitive losses for Mexico as it trades with the U.S.

▼ Despite FDI's growth in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, the evidence from earlier studies on FDI led economic growth and key determinants of FDI in SSA countries have been inconclusive. This paper provides up-to-date evidence on the question: does FDI lead to economic growth? And if so, what are the key determinants of FDI growth in SSA countries? In this study we use three estimation approaches, OLS with robust standard errors (robust regression), multi-level random-effects regression, and fixed-effects regression. The multi-level and fixed-effects regression are aimed to help us control for within-country and between-country effects. Based on a panel dataset for up to 47 SSA countries over the period 1980 to 2011, this thesis identifies the following key results: (1) FDI has a positive, though modest, effect on the growth of the SSA countries, 2) there is a bidirectional relationship between FDI and economic 3) GDP growth, availability of natural resources and openness are important determinates of FDI inflows into the region, 4) except corruption, institutional variables have insignificant effect on the flow of FDI into the region, 5) debt servicing has positive and significant effect on FDI inflows into the region.

▼ In these essays, I examine quantitatively some of the classic questions in the field of International Economics: What is the impact of international trade on consumption and productivity? How does international trade affect income inequality? How do exchange rates movements affect real output and productivity? This dissertation is composed of three chapters, each covering one of these topics.The first chapter, based on my paper "Measured Gains from International Trade" with Ariel Burstein, revisits the measurement of welfare gains from trade liberalizations. Economists so far have measured these gains using one of two alternative approaches. A first approach uses structural models to infer unobservable welfare gains from changes in trade costs or in trade patterns. A second approach documents the empirical link between the level or the change in international trade and aggregate indicators of economic activity. This chapter connects these two approaches by studying the relationship between the theoretical welfare gains from trade and observable aggregate measures of economic activity, such as real GDP and real consumption, as constructed by national statistical agencies. Across a wide range of models, we find that measured real GDP and productivity rise in response to reductions in variable trade costs if GDP deflators capture the decline in trade costs. On the other hand, welfare gains from tariffs reductions are only reflected on real GDP if tariff revenues at constant prices rise. The second chapter analyzes the impact of capital equipment imports on income inequality across 53 countries. The chapter is based on my paper "Importing Skill Biased Technology" with Ariel Burstein and Jonathan Vogel. Capital equipment, such as computers and industrial machinery, is mostly operated by skilled workers and generally takes on routine tasks that are otherwise performed by unskilled workers. When a country imports capital equipment, it raises the relative demand of skilled versus unskilled workers, increasing income inequality. The chapter develops a tractable model of international trade in capital goods to quantify these effects. In doing so, it provides sufficient statistics and transparent formulas that will enable development practitioners to independently assess how trade in capital goods affects income inequality. We estimate that imports of equipment account for 16 percent of the income gap between skilled and unskilled workers in the median country in our sample, and for a much larger magnitude in economies that heavily rely on imported capital equipment. We also show that imports of capital equipment are essential to increase productivity and income in developing countries, both for skilled and unskilled workers, although my findings suggest these imports will disproportionately benefit the skilled segment of the population. In the third chapter, "Exchange Rates, Aggregate Productivity and the Currency of Invoicing of International Trade", I use a novel dataset on prices and quantities from Chilean customs and a…

▼ My dissertation encompasses three different topics on empirical
international trade and migration. The first chapter investigates the short run effects of regional trade agreements on trade costs. It is widely accepted that the reinforcement of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) aiming at trade costs reduction among trade partners requires time. This paper investigates the effects of RTAs on trade costs over time by using unique micro-price data. We confirm that having an RTA on average lowers trade costs significantly. Furthermore, data shows significant and negative effects of RTAs on trade costs over time. Specifically, besides the initial impact on trade costs, having an RTA continuously lower trade costs every year after the commencement of the RTA.
The second chapter decomposes the overall effects of gravity variables on trade through three gravity channels: duties/tariffs (DC), transportation-costs (TC), and dyadic-preferences (PC). Compared to the existing literature, additional channel of PC is introduced and shown to dominate the other two channels, with adjacency contributing about 45 percent, distance about 32 percent, colony about 14 percent, free trade agreements about 7 percent, and language about 2 percent. The results imply that gravity variables mainly capture the effects of demand shifters rather than supply shifters (as implied by the existing literature).
The third chapter utilizes an immigration inflow data set from OECD countries during the period of 1984 to 2015 to shed light on how institutional quality affects the immigration rate. With the analysis in the fixed-effects framework, we construct a set of country-time specific institutional quality indexes to examine their effects on the immigration rate. The paper shows that other than the network effects, GDP difference, and migration costs, institutional qualities in both destination and source countries matter when it comes to potential migration decisions. Specifically, better socioeconomic conditions in the destination countries, and worse foreign debt, budget balance, government stability, internal conflicts, and corruption conditions in the source countries increase the immigration inflow.

▼ My dissertation consists of three papers on international finance, international economics, and labor economics. The first paper develops a stochastic general equilibrium model to understand the effects of default risk on output, consumption, investment, and current account deficits in emerging markets. The second paper studies how market structure affects exchange-rate pass-through. This analysis is empirical as well as theoretical, using a partial equilibrium model. The third paper develops a model to study relative wages across different educational levels in developed countries.
The model in my first paper features endogenous default risk. Its calibration results explain a number of important stylized facts about emerging economies, including the negative correlation between investment and net exports, the procyclicality of investment, and the potential for current account reversals.
The second paper compares exchange-rate pass-through under perfect competition and oligopoly, showing that the two different market structures have opposite effects on this currency pricing behavior. The paper's empirical test, whether implemented on the basis of a partial equilibrium framework or on the model's general equilibrium framework, finds support for perfect competition.
The third paper uses differences within and across industries m education wage premiums to study factors affecting those premiums. The paper begins by showing that within-industry as opposed to cross-industry educational wage premiums explain most of developed country differences in wages by education. It then develops a theoretical model and an empirical testing strategy, using U.S. and Japanese data, to examine whether the use of IT capital and the decision to outsource affect the education-wage premium. The answer is mixed depending on the country in question.

▼ This dissertation focuses broadly on central bank intervention: under what conditions, and when, can stabilization policy be effective? As growth lags across the globe, central banks have become lead actors in spurring recovery from the Global Financial Crisis. In response, a large academic literature has developed in order to theoretically predict and measure to what extent central bank policies have succeeded in stimulating growth.The first two chapters of this dissertation focus on US monetary policy. I develop two new approaches for investigating the effectiveness of monetary policy at the “zero lower bound”, that is, when interest rates are near zero. A novelty of these approaches is the usage of firm- and industry-level data in order to investigate effects of monetary policy.The zero bound on interest rates is the problem that- given low growth since 2008- the Federal Reserve would likely have lowered the federal funds rate further in to maximize employment and increase inflation. Previous behavior suggests that the Fed would have reduced the federal funds rate to a trough of 5 percentage points below zero. According to accepted empirics, a contractionary 5% monetary shock should lower GDP growth by a peak of 2.5%. This dissertation leverages the fact that the industry effects of detrimental monetary policy would be heterogeneous: a substantial portion of this reduction in growth would occur in industries such as construction, which typically would respond with a 10% reduction in revenues to a 5% contractionary monetary shock. In contrast, health care and other industries do not tend to respond as much to interest rates changes, and would thus likely be unaffectedThe first approach of this dissertation shows that growth rates of industries historically sensitive to interest rate changes, and therefore to monetary policy, do not seem to have fared poorly at the zero lower bound. This suggests that monetary policy was sufficiently accommodative since 2009 in spite of the zero bound constraint.The second approach quantifies the federal funds rate that would be implied by observed industry growth rates and macroeconomic variables following 2008. The results suggest that unconventional policy had an effect on the economy such that growth occurred as if the federal funds rate were in fact negative. Unlike previous literature, this estimate is based on growth rates of real rather than financial market variables. The technique extracts the path of the federal funds rate at the zero lower bound consistent with pre-zero lower bound macroeconomic dynamics. Given the negative interest rate estimate from this second approach, and the relative growth rates of interest rate sensitive industries, the first two chapters suggest that the combination of zero interest rates and unconventional policy succeeded in spurring economic growth in a comparable fashion to previous US recoveries. The third chapter of this dissertation focuses on an international aspect of central banking. Due to a combination of desires for precautionary…

▼ This dissertation will address the dynamic interrelationship between multiple macro-economic fundamentals. The second chapter details a solution to the excess volatility puzzle described in the macro-economic labor literature in which properly calibrated search and matching models are unable to accurately match both the volatility of vacancies and productivity. The model described utilizes agents who abstract from rational expectations via knightian uncertainty in order to break the tight mechanism that links both productivity and vacancies together. The third chapter documents previously unknown long and short run dynamic interrelationships between the real exchange rate and various macro-economic fundamentals. It refutes the Backus-Smith model's assertion that relative consumption growth and the real exchange rate should be tightly correlated and documents a novel relationship between relative investment and output growth. More specifically, it notes that higher relative investment today should signal future appreciations of the exchange rate. The fourth chapter takes the novel result from the third chapter and proposes a model in order to define a mechanism which may explain the interesting interrelationship between investment and the real exchange rate at medium and long horizons. In particular, the model utilizes bonds as a form of collateral in the production of the investment good in order to more tightly link the two fundamentals.

▼ This dissertation comprises of three essays in
international macroeconomics. The first essay investigates the
competition between two city states, both of which will stand in
place
of countries in the global scheme. Under the framework of
the three-stages-game, we assume
that there are two cities
competing for dominance over two sectors: the manufacturing sector
and the financial sector. In addition, the government of each city
state can build infrastructure to increase the competitiveness of
the financial and distributive firms of its city. Under this
framework, we are able to show that the amount of resources, the
start-up costs of providing services, and the relative
effectiveness of their infrastructures determine the optimal
amounts of infrastructures the cities decide to build, and thus
also decide the equilibrium outcome of this game.
In my second
essay, we examine the relationship between income distribution and
import patterns. The Linder hypothesis states that countries with
similar economic characteristics should trade more often. However,
although the total volumes of trade between these countries are
similar, the traded goods may be different. This paper investigates
the trading patterns of countries with similar characteristics.
Specifically, we analyze the relationship between the import
patterns and income distributions of importers. We develop an
import similarity index to portray the composition of imports and
utilize the idea of a "market overlap," a theoretical concept
proposed by Bohman and Nilsson (2007), to represent the similarity
of income distributions across different importing countries. We
provide empirical evidence to support the notion that countries
with similar income distributions display similar import patterns.
We also separate countries by income level and find that income
distribution exerts a positive impact on the similarity of import
patterns for all but low
income countries. Finally, we incorporate
the characteristics of goods into our analysis and show that the
positive relationship between income distributions and import
patterns holds
for differentiated and reference-priced goods, but
not for homogeneous goods.
In my final essay, we look into another
aspect of
international literature: the exchange rate. In the
literature, we find that vector autoregressive (VAR) models and
impulse response analyses are common tools to study the
relationship between monetary policy and exchange rate movements.
Therefore, it is important to investigate the accuracy of the VAR
model. In the first part of this essay, we assume that the true,
underlying, data-generating process is hump-shaped, which is the
shape of the impulse response of exchange rate to a monetary policy
shock. We show that results estimated from any VAR models applying
AIC as their lags selection are biased. We also introduce two
possible solutions to remedy
this bias: the use of more lags in
the VAR models or the use of the proposed loss functions
estimations. These results suggest we should be cautious when…

▼ The first chapter of this dissertation is based on
the observation that during the past 50 years, the US economy has
been characterized by a rapid decline of labor unions and a
substantial rise in wage inequality. The chapter proposes that the
rise in the skill premium in the non-union sector, for instance,
due to technical change, can potentially explain these trends.
Based on the premise that labor unions compress wages between
skilled and unskilled workers, a larger skill premium encourages
skilled workers to withdraw from the union. If this is accompanied
by a fall in the productivity of unskilled workers, firms become
more reluctant to hire the relatively expensive union workers,
reinforcing the decline in the unionization rate. To evaluate this
hypothesis, we develop a macroeconomic model of endogenous union
membership with heterogenous agents, where union members are
selected from the middle of the skill distribution and have
significant wage gains that are decreasing in skill, consistent
with US evidence. The model predicts that the rise in skill prices
in the non-union sector explains 30-60% of the decline in the
unionization rate. It was argued that the declining union activity
contributed to the rise in wage inequality by changing the labor
force composition. We find this effect to be much smaller due to
selection into union jobs.
In the second
chapter, I investigate the role of heterogeneity and misaggregation
in explaning the empirically missing correlations between the
relative consumption and real exchange rates between countries,
referred to as the Backus-Smith puzzle. I construct a two-country
general-equilibrium model with heterogeneous households that choose
to consume either an imported good, or its domestic variant. I show
that upon aggregation, the corresponding "representative agent''
acts as if he is subject to taste shocks, which works towards
weakening the tight link between relative prices and quantities.
The model therefore constitutes a microfoundation for what shows up
as taste shocks in the data. I argue that the missing correlations
could be an artifact of heterogeneity.

▼ The first chapter studies the effects of government capital accumulation on sovereign debt default risk and debt restructuring renegotiation outcomes when a government has limited ability to extract revenues from households. To do so, this chapter develops a quantitative dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model of sovereign default, debt renegotiation, and fiscal policies, where the government chooses between the fiscal expenditures of government consumption and government investment. Government capital provides an additional means of adjustment in the face of a bad productivity shock. It also affects the government's incentive to re-access the international credit market when the government chooses to default. The model delivers three key predictions: (1) a higher level of government capital implies less risky sovereign debt and higher recovery rates when the government chooses to default; (2) a high debt to output ratio is sustainable with a sufficient level of government capital; (3) fiscal adjustment that reduces public investment may be self-defeating.
The second chapter investigates the empirical facts that government expenditures and taxes are procyclical in developing countries but countercyclical or acyclical in developed economies. This chapter provides a possible explanation for this stylized fact by introducing news about future total factor productivity and endogenous fiscal policy in an otherwise-standard small open economy model of sovereign default risk, as in Arellano (2008). News tends to be more precise in developed countries, which relaxes credit constraints on foreign borrowing and makes developed countries less reliant on tax revenues. This dampens and potentially reverses the high correlation between output and government expenditures/taxes observed in developed countries.
The third chapter studies the impact of creditors' income process on the outcomes of sovereign debt restructurings. This chapter compiles a new dataset on foreign creditors' income process during negotiation. This chapter shows that when foreign creditors are facing high income, restructurings are protracted and result in smaller haircuts. To explain these stylized facts, this chapter develops a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model of defaultable debt that embeds multi-rounds negotiations between a risk-averse sovereign and risk-averse creditors. The quantitative analysis shows that high creditors' income results in a longer duration of restructuring and higher haircuts.

▼ Brazil's World Trade Organization dispute concerning the United States' cotton subsidy programs has many implications for the agricultural and trade policies of the U.S and developing countries, and for the WTO's role in settling trade disputes. Development of a condensed form econometric model of the world cotton price tests the accuracy of Brazil's claims and provides a measure of the impact of U.S. cotton subsidy programs. When using level values the model estimates that as U.S. subsidy payments increase by $1 Million the world price of cotton decreases by 0.01 cents. When using log values of the variables, a one percent increase in U.S. subsidy payments corresponds with a 0.27 percent decrease in the world cotton price. Numerous policy approaches exist for all parties based on the model's results, the historical and political background of the U.S. cotton industry, the WTO ruling, and the settlement between the U.S. and Brazil.

▼ This paper employs an eclectic and extended gravity model of trade to assess the most important determinants of real export and import of services of the United States by analyzing US service trade with its 33 partner countries for 15 years. Distance affects US real export of services negatively, but has no influence on US real import of services. A devaluation of the US dollar increases service export of the United States. We find a positive relationship between US goods trade and US service exports. US outward FDI has a positive impact on US real export of services, but has no significance on US real service imports. Trade freedom of both the US and its partner countries contribute to both the real service exports and imports of the United States. Tariff equivalents of non-tariff barriers and corruption in the importing country have a strong negative impact on the US export of services. Neither regional trade agreements nor a common language contribute to US service trade. Contiguity increases both US export and import of services.

▼ Financial crisis of 2007 provides a renewed interest in financial market linkages and their effect on macro variables. In an open-economy dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model setting, two things are investigated in this paper. First, what role do financial linkages play in propagating asymmetric cross-country dynamics. Specifically, the impact of a productivity shock in home country leads to a more synchronous behavior in consumption and investment in recessions than in expansions. Secondly, a new source of shock is included, one in the financial sector itself. Cross-country asset prices and fixed assets move identically in this scenario implying perfect risk-sharing.

▼ This dissertation consists of three chapters. The first chapter surveys the literature on the solving of heterogeneous agents models. From the Bewley/Huggett/Aiyagari models of the 1990s that focus on idiosyncratic risk to the addition of aggregate risk in models based on Krusell-Smith’s heterogeneous agent model have become standard workhorses of macroeconomics. This is unlikely to change as the increased availability of household level data and improvements in computational speed have made previously infeasible models not only solvable but also able to be disciplined. The second chapter presents a model of international transmission of financial shocks where the country of origin is fundamental to the transmission of the shock. Highly developed countries tend to accumulate larger positions in riskier, but more productive, capital flows, as seen in the data. When a financial shock occurs, the ability to insure is impaired, which lessens demand for risky foreign capital, which lowers production abroad. We interpret the Financial Crisis of 2008 as a change in the ability of financial market quality and calibrate the model to match the change in capital flows. Importantly, the calibrated model matches not only changes in capital flows, but also relative movements in interest rates as well as changes in debt flows. The third chapter examines the concern about the observed decline in entrepreneurship over the past 30 years. This chapter argues the decline reflects a change in the timing of entrepreneurship decisions because of increased educational attainment and its associated cost. A greater number of older workers and fewer young people are choosing to become entrepreneurs. I find that trends in education costs, the skill premium, and the compression of morbidity quantitatively explain the change in the age composition of entrepreneurs. In a series of sensitivity analyses, I establish that, to successfully match the observed rates, it is important to take into account each of these trends. An additional implication of the model is that efficiency increases sharply with a better educated workforce indicating that decreased entrepreneurship might not be as troubling a trend as previously thought.

▼ Chapter 1, “The Impact of Trade Shocks on Local Labor Markets” estimates the effects of increased trade with China on Brazilian local labor markets using longitudinal individual data on the universe of Brazilian formal sector workers. First, I use reduced-form estimation strategies commonly found in the literature to compare my results to previous findings. I show that my results at the regional level mirror those found in prior studies based on cross-sectional data. I argue that these estimates are potentially biased as they do not take into account the flows of factors and goods between regions. I complement the reduced-form approach with a structural analysis based on the model by Caliendo et al. (2015) in order to endogenize such flows and to study welfare effects. I find that in the absence of the Chinese shock the Brazilian Commodities sector would have shrunk while Manufacturing and Services would have expanded. Relative to this baseline, the employment effect of increased trade with China at the national level was a slower reduction in the share of the Commodities sector and a slower growth in the Manufacturing subsectors that were relatively more exposed to Chinese import competition. My analysis suggests that while the average Brazilian worker benefitted from this shock, the welfare effects were very heterogeneous across sectors and across locations. I find that this heterogeneity is vastly underestimated if instead of using data at the level of metropolitan areas I use data aggregated by States and I explain why the choice of spatial units affects these results.
Chapter 2, “Agglomeration: A Long-Run Panel Data Approach” studies the sources of agglomeration economies in cities. We begin by incorporating within and cross-industry spillovers into a dynamic spatial equilibrium model in order to obtain a panel data estimating equation. This gives us a framework for measuring a rich set of agglomeration forces while controlling for a variety of potentially confounding effects. We apply this estimation strategy to detailed new data describing the industry composition of 31 English cities from 1851-1911. Our results show that industries grew more rapidly in cities where they had more local suppliers or other occupationally-similar industries. We find no evidence of dynamic within-industry effects, i.e., industries generally did not grow more rapidly in cities in which they were already large. Once we control for these agglomeration forces, we find evidence of strong dynamic congestion forces related to city size. We also show how to construct estimates of the combined strength of the many agglomeration forces in our model. These results suggest a lower bound estimate of the strength of agglomeration forces equivalent to a city-size divergence rate of 1.6-2.3% per decade.
Chapter 3, “Gravity estimation with unobserved bilateral flow data” adapts the methodology by Miscio & Soares (2016) to predict domestic trade flows by sector between Brazilian metropolitan areas. This methodology, initially developed…

▼ In these essays, I examine (i) international finance and its effects on the economies (ii) immigration and its effects on labor markets. The first chapter explores whether the intervention of a lender of last resort (LLR) with seniority improves the welfare of the countries that are solvent but illiquid. In a model with information asymmetries and incomplete contracts I find that depending on the initial parameters, LLR intervention may or may not help these countries in overcoming this problem since an LLR intervention decision with seniority incorporates a trade-off between higher levels of intervention and lower liquidation. Results of my simulation analysis show that there exists some conditions under which LLR intervention creates lower level of welfare and is not preferable. On the other hand, if the conditions are such that LLR intervention is preferable, given some restrictions, I find that LLR intervention should be conducted without the seniority requirement. Second and third chapters analyze the effect of immigration on welfare through endogenous technological choice of firms. In the second chapter, I empirically test whether immigration of different types of labor (skilled vs. unskilled) affects technology choice of firms differently. Specifically, I test whether firms change their technology in such a way that they will increase the productivity of the labor type that has become more abundant. In order to achieve this, I use census data between years 1970 and 2006 and use instrumental variable technique. Regression results show that high skilled immigration has a strong and positive association with the high-skilled intensive production technology choice of firms while low skilled immigration has a strong negative association with the high-skilled intensive production techniques. In other words, there is a strong association between immigration and endogenous technological choice of firms. In the third chapter, I analyze how immigration affects the long-run welfare of immigration through endogenous choice of firms. Existing theoretical models predict that immigration would depress the wages. However, empirical literature finds that immigration effect on wages is either positive or insignificant. In order to match the theory with these empirical findings, I embed endogenous technological change in a model similar to Auerbauch and Kotlikoff (1987). The results show that the standard model underestimates the effect of immigration to native skilled workers by 95% while it overestimates the effect on native unskilled workers by 31%. Comparing the fiscal effects of immigration in terms of burden of an immigrant through net present discount value (NPV) calculations existing models overestimate NPV of an additional low skilled immigrant approximately by 35% and underestimate the value of an additional high skilled immigrant by 15%

An Investment Case for Addressing Social Drivers of Structural Stigma and Discrimination Against Refugees in Resource-Poor Urban Areas.

▼ Investment in addressing structural stigma and discrimination against refugees in resource-poor urban areas is both needed, and possible. The large population of refugees residing in resource-poor urban areas is likely to grow, and tensions in a number of settings are now documented. Without interventions to adequately address such tensions, both the protection needs of refugee populations and the stability of hosting countries could be affected. Through qualitative analysis of an urban refugee dataset in Uganda, this dissertation identified community-level drivers of structural stigma and discrimination as safeguarding one’s body and property, defending status, and perpetuating exploitation. The designs of potentially successful programs to address these drivers were then identified though systematic review, and included one or more of the following: 1) the utilization of multiple intervention components; 2) direct information provision (e.g., lecture, role-play, other active engagement) or direct contact with stigmatized groups; 3) cooperative work between community members and stigmatized groups to better livelihoods; 4) popular opinion leaders who have authority to make change, and 5) traditional ceremonies valued by the communities for cleansing and healing. One such design involving an agricultural livelihood program in a resource-poor urban area of the Northeast United States was costed, utilizing a primarily bottom-up approach and a societal perspective in the collection of both financial and economic costs. The unit cost per participating family was significantly lower than government services that provide comparable nutritional support, but did not include components of working with the community to reduce stigma and discrimination. Thus, the studied program provided more services for a lower cost. In addition, it empowered stigmatized refugees to advocate for and support themselves, and engendered goodwill in the community by involving community members to work alongside refugee participants, improving upon a neglected piece of land, and providing fresh produce. Further research is needed to better measure the social and financial dividends of programs to address structural stigma and discrimination, particularly against urban refugees. Such research can only come in tandem with further investment, the imperative and potential of which are compellingly clear.

▼ The United States has historically subsidized its farmers directly and indirectly
through a variety of different methods. In recent years, there has been evidence that
OECD agricultural subsidies are leading farmers in certain nations to begin growing
illegal plants that contain alkaloids for the production of narcotics. In this paper, I use
narcotic seizure data from the United States Drug Enforcement Agency as a proxy for
narcotics supply levels. Regression results strongly suggest a link between U.S. subsides
and drug production, but no link between U.S. subsidies and methamphetamine or
marijuana production.

▼ The IMF and the World Bank began to attach structural adjustment restrictions to many of their loans to developing countries in the early 1980s. Some of these restrictions are not based on solid economic ground and are, in many cases not effective in improving the economic standing of the countries that receive loans. In addition, there was also a misdiagnosis of the problems that occurred in the underdeveloped countries of the world. Under the IMF/World Bank paradigm, the difficulties that most underdeveloped countries experienced were due to internal distortions and non-effective development strategies. Evidence to the contrary shows that many of the problems that these underdeveloped nations experienced in the 1970s and early 1980s were mainly exogenous and out of the control of the individual countries, such as: Two severe oil shocks, a world wide recession, and increased real interest rates.

Of Devaluation, Imports, Exports, Balance of Payments and the IMF in Malawi: A Case Study.

▼ In
International Economics, conventional wisdom suggests that devaluation improves the trade balance for a country. This is possible because, by worsening the terms of trade for a country, devaluation leads to import substitution and enhanced competitiveness in the export sector. The trade balance is expected to improve
via the J-curve, where the trade balance worsens first, until a country is able to adjust to the contractual problem.
This project sought to identify the presence of the J-curve or a lack thereof in Malawi, a country in South Central Africa, within the contextual frame work of the IMF's structural adjustment programs. More precisely, it was hypothesized that a series of devaluations between 1982 and 1992 led to a wave-like pattern in the current account and the balance of payments. It was hypothesized that the trade balance was not enhanced because the J-curves never matured.
The project also analyzed some key variables that form the foci of structural adjustment. In addition, the project also estimated Malawi's propensities to import from key trading partners.
The findings suggested that, in some instances, the J-curve was indeed discernible from the data. In other instances, intervening variables precluded the drawing of hard and fast conclusions. The results also showed Malawi's imports to be positively sensitive to income and negatively sensitive to relative prices. However, the exchange rate does not appear to have any significant impact on Malawi's import trade, except for the case of trade with Japan.
The project concluded that Malawi, the IMF and other lenders should focus on correcting structural imbalances and diversification of the export sector if Malawi's financial position is to improve enough to enable her to repay her outstanding debts. Deflationary aggregate demand policies will only sacrifice long run growth and development.

▼ This dissertation seeks to highlight the relationship between foreign investment, financial development, and economic institutions in developing countries. The determinants and impact of foreign investment has been of particular scholarly interest over the past two decades, with only recent focus on developing countries. The first two chapters focus on the institutional determinants (domestic and international) of foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing countries. The third chapter accesses the domestic distributional consequences of foreign investment in developing countries.The first chapter focuses on the domestic institutional determinants of foreign direct investment and financial deepening. Specifically, I create an institutional quality index that addresses investors desire to know more about the institutional environment within developing countries. Building upon and expanding previous theoretical frameworks for determinants of foreign and domestic capital flows, I utilize cross-sectional empirical analysis to assess the role that institutions play in promoting financial development and foreign direct investment. I find that institutional quality has a positive and significant on both foreign direct investment and financial deepening.This second chapter examines the significance of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) in promoting FDI between developing (South-South) countries. Drawing on intra-regional investment data from MENA countries, this paper initiates the examination of South-South BITs, their impact on FDI, and the theoretical channels through which changes in FDI occur. The results of my time-series cross-sectional analysis suggest that the signing of South-South BITs have a positive impact on FDI flows, but under different circumstances than North-South agreements.The final chapter considers the distributional consequences of foreign direct investment in developing countries. Specifically, I access the impact of foreign investment on the level of democracy and the level of income inequality. Additionally, I estimate the intervening impact of domestic financial development and how this interacts with FDI and the dependent variables. I find that in a sample of developing countries, FDI increases levels of democracy, as well income inequality, and that domestic financial development has an interactive effect.

▼ I develop and analyze three models which examine how labor markets are impacted by trade. The first model explores the effects of tariff reductions in a setting where multinational firms must choose not only where to sell their products but also where to locate their production. The second model introduces a new theory of offshoring in which production tasks are offshored due to differences in factor endowments between countries rather than differences in productivity. The third model explores the phenomenon of job polarization in which the share of high-skilled and low-skilled jobs increase at the expense of the share of medium-skilled jobs. I demonstrate that job polarization can be caused by complementarities between worker skill and more sophisticated production technologies and I analyze how this effect varies systematically with reductions in trade costs.

▼ This dissertation is a collection of essays on the political economy of foreign aid in the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) countries. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the foreign aid literature, focusing on the practice of aid tying and foreign aid's impact on political support between aid donor and recipient countries. Chapter 2 investigates the hypothesis that institutional factors such as fragmentation of the executive power and the position of government vis-a-vis legislative composition within the governments of DAC countries help explain why levels of tied aid remain significantly above zero despite the push in the development community to untie all bilateral foreign aid. The results show as the executive power becomes more fragmented, particularly as the number of spending ministers and the number of political parties in the governing coalition increases, countries increase the level of tied aid. Chapter 3 empirically tests whether the DAC countries use aid disbursements to exert political influence over aid recipients by influencing how the recipients vote in the United Nations General Assembly. In general, the results show a positive relationship between voting coincidence and foreign aid distribution for Canada, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom while no conclusive link was established for the United States. These results may be considered a lower bound of political influence because of the possibility of free riding among the DAC countries. Chapter 4 extends the work in the previous chapter by disaggregating the aid data to account for the heterogeneity of aid and the possibility that the different categories and forms of aid may differ in their ability to induce political support. The analysis shows, among other things, that in the post Cold War era disaggregated aid measures do not show a robust influence on voting coincidence for most of the DAC countries. These results in chapters 3 and 4 may differ because recipients may value total aid more than individual aid categories because of the fungibility of aid. Chapter 5 concludes the dissertation by summarizing the key findings and offering extensions to the current research.

▼ This dissertation examines the behavior of the exchange rate under two different scenarios. The first one is characterized by, relatively, low inflation or a situation where prices adjust sluggishly. The second is a high inflation economy where prices respond very rapidly even to unanticipated shocks. In the first one, following a monetary expansion, the exchange rate overshoots, i.e. the nominal exchange rate depreciates at a faster pace than the price level. Under high levels of inflation, prices change faster than the exchange rate so the exchange rate undershoots its long run equilibrium value.
The standard work in this area, Dornbusch (1976), explains the overshooting process in the context of perfect capital mobility and sluggish adjustment in the goods market. A monetary expansion will make the exchange rate increase beyond its long run equilibrium value. This dissertation expands on Dornbusch's model and provides an analysis of the exchange rate under conditions of currency substitution and price flexibility, characteristics of the Peruvian economy during the hyper inflation process that took place at the end of the 1980's. The results of the modified Dornbusch model reveal that, given a monetary expansion, the change in the price level will be larger than the change in the exchange rate if prices react more than proportionally to the monetary shock.
We will expect this over-reaction in circumstances of high inflation when the velocity of money is increasing very rapidly. Increasing velocity of money, gives rise to a higher relative price variability which in turn contributes to the appearance of new financial (and also non-financial) instruments that report a higher return than the exchange rate, causing people to switch their demand for foreign exchange to this new assets. In the context of currency substitution, economic agents hoard and use foreign exchange as a store of value. The big decline in output originated by hyper inflation induces people to sell this hoarded money to finance current expenses, increasing the supply of foreign exchange in the market. Both, the decrease in demand and the increase in supply reduce the price of foreign exchange i.e. the real exchange rate. The findings mentioned above are tested using Peruvian data for the period January 1985 – July 1990, the results of the econometric estimation confirm our findings in the theoretical model.

▼ This dissertation provides an analytical framework to study the political economy of policy reform in the Dominican Republic during the nineties. Based on a country study, I develop two theoretical models that replicate the mechanisms of policy approval in developing countries with weak democracies. The first model considers a pro-reform President who submits a tariff bill to an anti-reform Congress dominated by the opposition party. In between, two opposing lobbies try to get their favored policy approved. Lobbies act as Stackelberg leaders vis a vis a weak President. The behavior of the Congress is determined exogenously while the lobbies act strategically pursuing the approval of the reform bill and indirectly affecting the President's decision. I show that in such a setting external agents like the Press play an important role in the decision-making process of the political actors.
The second model presents a similar framework. However, the President, who is a Stackelberg leader, is allowed only two choices, total reform or status-quo. I show how a lobby reacts to an increase in its rival's or its own size. These reactions depend on the President's level of commitment to the reform. Finally, I discuss the effect of variations in the size of the lobbies on the President's choice. The model suitably explains real events that took place in the Dominican Republic in the mid-nineties.

▼ This dissertation studies two issues in empirical analysis of financial markets: The herd behavior in global markets and illiquidity as a risk factor to predict excess stock returns in international markets. These issues are structured into two essays.Essay1 examines investors’ herding behavior in an international setting. By applying daily data for 18 markets for the period May 25, 1988, through April 24, 2009, we obtain supportive evidence of herding in each advanced stock market (except the U.S.) and in Asian markets. No evidence of herding is found in Latin American markets in tranquil periods. We also find some evidence that return dispersion is correlated with excess trading volume, although its information is far less significant as compared with the estimated herding coefficients. By extending the testing to global markets, this study finds that stock return dispersions in the U.S. play a significant role in explaining the non-U.S. market’s herding activity. With the exceptions of the U.S. and Latin American markets, herding is present in both up and down markets. Examining herding behavior in the crisis period, it is evident that herding formation is more apparent in the crisis period. There is supportive evidence that herding is present in the U.S. and Latin American markets when those markets are in crisis.Essay #2 tests the relation between expected (and contemporaneous) excess stock returns and liquidity in an international context. By applying panel regressions on monthly data from 17 markets spanning from January 1990 through March 2009, this essay finds evidence that expected excess stock returns are positively correlated with illiquidity. However, excess stock returns are negatively associated with contemporaneous illiquidity. The supporting evidence holds true for all of the advanced markets and most of emerging markets. This study also shows that risk factors from the U.S. stock and bond markets contribute to explain local excess stock returns. The findings in this essay are consistent with the U.S. evidence in the liquidity literature. This study supports the notion that illiquidity can be viewed as a general risk factor in global stock markets. Robust tests are implemented by using trading volume turnover as the proxy for illiquidity and the results still hold. While applying the model to the portfolio data, this study shows that illiquidity risk appears to be stronger for small firm stocks.

▼ This dissertation consists of three papers analyzing the effect of the South Asian free trade agreement, identifying various factors that influence the settlement of illegal immigrants and the impact of microfinance on investment in children's education. The first article estimates the effect of a free trade agreement on export flows among member countries of the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) using panel data from 2001 - 2010. This paper also compares the average growth of exports of SAFTA countries with neighboring non-SAFTA countries using difference-in-differences Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood gravity estimator. Results show that the share of intraregional exports has grown within SAFTA during the post-SAFTA period compared to the pre-SAFTA period by 107 percent. But I find that the increase in exports in SAFTA is not statistically different from the increase in exports of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The second study identifies various important characteristics that determine the location of illegal immigrants within the United States. I use random effect model to investigate the various reasons why illegal immigrants decide to settle in different states including socioeconomic, network, welfare, political, and enforcement effects. I find that illegal immigrants settle in states with network effects, where the enforcement is higher; and are less likely to be in states with a higher welfare effects. I used a logit model to examine personal characteristics on the illegal immigrants. I find that illegal immigrants are more likely to be males, with low education levels, working in the construction sector.The third study estimates how the probability of taking a microfinance loan and the total amount of loan from microfinance institutions by Self Help Groups members affects their children's education in India. The objective of this study is to identify the factors that determine the probability of getting a loan from microfinance institutions using probit model. Results show that household income has positive impact on probability of getting a microfinance loan, but did not find any effect on savings and expenditure. The analysis did not find any evidence of the impact of microfinance credit of household members on investment in children's education.

▼ This dissertation contains 3 essays that analyze different aspects of corporate taxation. The first essay studies optimal corporate taxes using an enhanced version of the Melitz trade model that contains heterogeneous industries and a corporate tax framework. I show that the choice of distribution for firmsâ productivity is critical as different distributions generate optimal tax rates that differ not only quantitatively but also on their qualitative properties. I show welfare losses of using the Pareto distribution, the literature standard, instead of the lognormal distribution, supported by the data. The second essay explores the link between corporate taxes and income inequality in the context of an integrated world via trade in goods and assets. The model used presents an economy with two different households: a worker who doesnât own assets and, a capitalist who owns the assets in this economy. It is shown that changes in corporate taxes lead to asymmetric welfare effects: workers suffer the negative effects for longer periods of time relative to the capitalists. The final essay uses balance sheet data from European countries to calculate their effective corporate tax rate in a way that permit its comparison across countries. Analyzing these effective rates by firm size I show that at the national level there isnât enough evidence to support the claim that larger firms pay less taxes than other firms. However, when the study is carried at the industry level I find that larger firms have a smaller tax liability in several industries, many of which are consistent across the countries included in the sample.
